Solve for each variable: x ≈ , y ≈ .

 

The image depicts a right triangle with one of its angles measuring 45 degrees. The side opposite the 45-degree angle is labeled \( y \), the side adjacent to the 45-degree angle is labeled 11, and the hypotenuse is labeled \( x \).

**Key Features of the Triangle:**

- **Right Triangle**: This triangle includes a right angle (90 degrees).
- **One Known Angle**: One angle measures 45 degrees.
- **Known Side**: The side opposite the right angle measures 11 units.

**Identifying Sides:**

- **Hypotenuse (\( x \))**: The side opposite the right angle, not labeled with a numerical value here.
- **Opposite Side (\( y \))**: The side across from the 45-degree angle.
- **Adjacent Side**: The side along the 11-unit length.

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, properties specific to this triangle can be applied. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{2}\) times longer than each leg. If further calculations are needed, trigonometric ratios or the Pythagorean theorem may be useful.
